Drawing pictures with IBM character set ?

Drawing pictures with IBM character set ?

alt.ascii-art · 2 messages · 23 Feb 2001 - 25 Feb 2001
HI

Does anyone out there know of a program that converts a pictures, or allows
you to draw a picture, or convert text to a "picture" using the IBM extended
graphics character set? You know, all those clunky lines & stuff everyone
used to use to draw frames & big letters & such!

Or point me to some websites...

Thx
Marty

My program doesn't use those clunky lines, but it does use IBM extended
character set to produce different shades of colors. You need some kind
of ANSI-driver to see the results.

png2ansi. I haven't updated the page in a long time and don't remember
what it looks like or what it contains ;-)
